Terri graduated from Carbon High School and LDS Business College. She worked for the Presiding Bishopric and KSL Radio. She was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She was a wonderful example of service and love. She loved to cook and often made meals or treats for others. She would spend hours making hats and blankets she donated to charity.
